Experiencing Tiredness, Fever Due To Slight Enlargement Of Liver
Dear All,
I had tiredness over the last three months and slight fever once / twice in a month. Last week i had a hight fever and when i went to doctor, after doing the physical examination, Doctor has told that my liver is a little enlarged and suggested blood test along with Liver Function Test. Test results shown that my AST, ALT and GGT levels are two times higher than the normal level. And doctor has suggested to stop animal oils and meat for a while and have give a tablet Livopill once in a day for a month. Now i dont feel fever but feel tiredness and a giddyness. Is there anything to worry or should i change anything in my lifestyle to come back to normal.
Regards,
Dinesh Sukumar

Hello
Increased ALT,GGT and AST with slightly enlarged liver may indicate liver injury and it may be due to many causes like hepatitis,altered lipid profile,alcoholism,metabolic disorder etc.
You may need few more investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,urine RE/ME and ultrasound of abdomen.
I suggest to take tablet ursodeoxycholic acid 30 mg twice daily for three months.It helps in regeneration of liver cells.
You should avoid alcohol if you take it.
You should avoid high fat food like red meat,high fat milk products etc.
Take lot of fibers in your diet.
You should increase your physical activity and go for brisk walk regularly.
Get well soon.
